Data Subject Rights Letter – Additional Time Required

This Data Subject Rights Letter - Additional Time Required is designed for use where you need longer than the standard one-month period to respond to a data subject rights request.

Under the UK GDPR, a response will ordinarily be required within one month. In some cases, however, particularly where a request is complex or numerous, that period may be extended by up to two months.

When this letter can be used

This template includes options for several different scenarios in which extra time is needed. It may be used:

• where it is clear from the outset that the response will take longer;
• where you originally expected to respond within one month but later determine that more time is needed;
• where you requested proof of identity and, after receiving it, determine that additional time is required; and
• where you requested a fee for a manifestly unfounded or excessive request and, after receiving it, determine that additional time is required.

Designed for extended-response scenarios

This letter is intended for situations in which the standard response period will not be sufficient. Where you do not need more than one month to respond, the other acknowledgement and follow-up letters in this set will usually be more appropriate.

Depending on the circumstances, you may also need the Data Subject Rights Letter - Acknowledgement, Data Subject Rights Letter - Acknowledgement and ID Request, Data Subject Rights Letter - Receipt of ID, Data Subject Rights Letter - Acknowledgement and Fee Request, or Data Subject Rights Letter - Receipt of Fee.
